Thanks for explaining a lot of the salient features of AD2 without over doing it. Also for not turning this into a sales pitch, think it should be obvious that the vast majority of people who would watch this already own the software.
the amount of scope for sound designing in this software is crazy, i can and do spend alot of time messing around with drums you can end up with a totally original sound rather than relying on the presets, it really is great.
Agreed, it's great for grabbing something suitable quickly for initial work but you can make very unique things with it once once you get familiar with all the possibilities.
Thanks for the great overview of XLN 2 now I'm addicted 2....
Defenetly the best plugin for real drums , I bought a copy yesterday and this is the best tutorial I had ever see , thanks so much!
Thanks Dave...I've owned and used both Addictive Drums and AD2 with addons for years...Your video shows more creative uses for shaping for me, beyond the drop and lazy loads. Great for percussion adds and world music drums:)!
Thank you so much for the effort you've given for us!
Thank you for making the time to make this. Quite helpful.
Thanks, Learned a few things here. appreciate you taking the time to make this.
This is so well done. Thanks so much. Just what I need.
Thank you for your time! This video is a nice way to start using the program.
Great video, really helped me understand the basics (&more) of AD2
Wonderful tutorial and software! Great job!
I love tis software also. I prefer using my own effects so I output everything without any of AD2's effect. Also, you can create duplicate outputs for any kit piece, RMs and OHs and parallel compress that way. That frees up Flexi's 1, 2, and 3 for other kit pieces. I also like the ability to create my own drum map. I'm used to GM but made a variation of it so the cymbal chokes are easier to get to. I wish there were separate outputs for the top and bottom snare mic, at least there is a blend though.
19min 50 sec or so in i found excatly what i wanted. Good video. Thank you
Great breakdown man.
I needed that ...thanks a lot
GREAT video. Thank you
Great video. Helped me out a lot. Thank you
Informative and useful. Thanks.
very helpful, thanks!
Great Overview. Thanks
I am attempting to import a MIDI sequence from Guitar Pro 7 straight into Reaper and use Addictive Drums 2 as the plugin. Although there is the option to remap the MIDI map from AD2's default to GM which GP7 uses (or even just to completely customize the mapping) I still have two issues:
1. GP7 has three Hihat hits; Closed (42), Half Open (92), and Fully Open (46). I have songs that use all three Hihat settings and I cannot seem to find a way to use Half Open, any time it is meant to play a half open hat (92 on the MIDI keyboard) it will default to 46 and play a fully open hat.
2. Although I admit I am unsure how to use cymbal chokes in AD2 yet, if I have one programmed in a GP7 MIDI sequence it will just play a normal hit instead of a choke.
eg. Crash High (49) instead of Crash High Choke (97)
Does anyone know if there is a way for me to deal with these issues?
I admit this probably isn't the most conventional way to create drums in Reaper but with a song that has multiple odd time signatures and tempo changes I find it much easier to write the drum track out as sheet music than building beats from scratch in Reaper or AD2
Thanks to anyone that can help!
Good stuff. Thanks.
Fine tuto. The presets we have in each pack can t be find inside the grooves ? Many thks.
Great software but how do you save Tom Sets? Even the manual says that you can Load and Save Tom Sets from the "SET" button in the tom kit pieces but you can only Load.
I just bought the complete edition of this. So damn excited
700$?
I hope they'll put it on a huge sale.
Why spend so much money when you can download the 11gb of amazing sound 4 free? Just installed and paid 0$
@@alonsovalenzuela1831 that is illegal
Nikos Page yeah and so what. Theres still people that base thier moral on law? Law is as corrupt as trump and trumps done some very legal shit
Nice! Thx!
Hello! Is there any way to change the beats via MIDI like the P.Change is doing to voices in instruments channels (Cubase software)? For example the first 4 bars playing rock beat and the next 4 bars playing RNB beat ! All information of changing beats via MIDI! Thanks in advance!
Do you leave eq Compression on in Addictive drums and eq and compress on the reaper tracks to
How do I get AD2 to load on seperate tracks in Cubase 9, it doesn't give me the option when loading the instrument on a new track.
Thank You
really helpful
jezuz kryyyst!! When I downloaded this (which took forever, it was actually scary, and left me wondering what's going on my computer)... I didn't realize I would have to spend 6 years in college to use it!!
I don’t think.If that were the case it would not sell at all.It is intuitive and very user - friendly.It is FANTASTIC
When I route the kit pieces to individual tracks in my Daw (Reaper), it comes out super hot. I'm always clipping. Any suggestions on how to get the clipping under control?
I know this was a year ago but for future reference, your best bet is to either set the routing to be post fader and pull them down in AD2 or to put a gain plugin at the beginning of your FX chain and pull it down that way.
I'm about to start podcasting, and I need to find a good software to record and edit the audio from. I've never used any form of audio editing software, so I don't know what is preferred by most. any Tips?
There are many options but I highly recommend taking a look at reaper.fm
Reaper would be the least expensive in the paid for DAW. And compared to something more expensive like pro tools, it will do the same job.
I would have loved to have seen more info on the output selection. I'm really struggling to properly understand pre, pre + master, post, post + master. Which to choose. I understand how it should work but when I for example choose post + master and then solo one particular piece, it's fader controls the output of the piece but why doesn't the master fader seem to have any affect? Is the kit piece sending out on it's own as well as to the master or something? Basically the master fader doesn't seem to do anything and I don't know what it's actually controlling.
So the anything pre-fader means the faders in AD2 will not affect the volume of the DAW tracks. Post fader is the exact opposite. On post fader, the faders in the mix view on AD2 also change the volume in the DAW. The only difference with these settings plus master is simply giving you another assignable output. I've used the master out at times for the FX signal only coming from AD2. If all tracks are using their individual outs the only thing left is the reverb/delay FX going to the master fader. Using this as an output will given you access to the AD2 FX engine outputting to the master track created by your daw.
OK that has helped a lot and also led to me finding some other things out. For example the BUS channel. I'm still just learning and channels like yours are great help. I appreciate your response.
when i drag and drop does the effects go to my master-bus or are they on whatever track i have the plugin on ? my struggle is keeping the AD effects while adding and tweaking further in my fl20mixer?
That was a great tutorial. Thanks. I have a ?. I want to play my Alesis drums through AD2. I know you can drag drums into DAW but I want to play the drums. I get sound but they are not correct. One of my toms plays a clap sound. Any advice? Thanks.
There is a mappings menu probably in the question mark in the top right corner
Or bottom left idk
Ok I know I"m late to the party. How do you export (might be using the wrong term here) all of the individual tracks as audio files to my DAW
hey uploader (or anyone that might know).is there a way to pitch shift the entire kit ?(basically just pitch shift AD2 as a whole).right now ,what i do is compose the break at around 80 bpm,export,load the wav and shift it up to 160.its time consuming and doesnt allow me to make corrections easily ...i want to pitch everything up in real time.(i know since this is a vst thats trying to go for super authentic drums they probably dont have a pitch feature cause it would defeat the purpose.but it would be great for me for early/mid 90s jungle/dnb)
do you know of a way?(AD2 is not affected by the the pitch wheel in the reason 10 vst rack)please advise ,thank you
Do you want to adjust pitch and tempo --OR-- just pitch?
so i have to buy Add 2 & kits? what comes with Add 2? what is your current price?
Hi
Is it possible to progressively transform a "straight" beat into a "shuffle" beat?
Does anyone know if you can mix sounds with the Addictive Drums Adpacks?
no sound comes out of the plugin when using it. even the sample beats. when I play anything on it, no sound comes out. whats up with that?
I've been using addictive drums 2 for ages now, but all of my drums are down the middle. How do I pan the toms so that when I program a fill, I get the toms left and right?
Pause the video at 09:48 . See the orange line below the Kit Piece labels and above the faders on the mixer; drag them left or right.

Is this a software that you can you use your e-drums kit to, or only create tracks like in Garage Band?
Yes you can use it with your edrums, they even have a demo version for free. I use the paid version and it even has a Solo feature that lets you use it without a DAW.
I’m having trouble getting the individual tracks to record. Anyone have any advice?
qual tem o som mais real mano, Superior, Addctive ou EZdrumer ?
eu gosto muito do superior
when i have 18 kits how do i separate out them?
I have problems recording shina and cymbals. Is a poor sound. Anybody knows how to fix it?
Hello. Do you need a interface to use these programs
How can I download the free DEMO? I'm trying but I can`t.
Do you know how to load more preset to DA 2?
On the addictive software, how many different drum tracks/drum pieces can you add? Or is the maximum what you see here?
Greetings...... Thanks for your review. But OMG!..... you purchased many kit parts from the XLN AUDIO site without telling your viewers they allowed you to listen before selecting the best say, snares for purchasing.
How do you route the cymbles to their own channel?
Hello Ivan. I'm a composer, and I use Addictive Drums for drums. You seem to be good at it, would you be up to help me ?
Hey I'm new to home recording. Can ya control Adictive Drums 2 with an electronic drum kit?
Rich Carosi you sure can.
Dave, any chance you could provide a video of how to setup AD2 for live performance using edrums?
We use it with a Roland TDK-15, works great
Been using this a long time, and ez DRUMMER TOO. rEECENTLY BEGAN USING THE ez DRUMMER song creator AND IT IS SO MUCH EASIER TO BUILD A SONG IN THAT THAN IT IS HAVING TO DRAG LOOPS IN TO MY DAW with Addictive that it isn't even funny. What a shame Addictive doesn't have it's own easy to use timeline sog creator. When you drag loops in to the daw you have to try to move the damn window around and way off to the side to see enough of the daw track. The space between te loops is big sometimes and other times the loops fit rigth up against the one brfore and you have to try it and listen to even know how close to drag them.
None of these problems in the EZ drummer timeline song creator. Every fill, every chorus loop, all of them just easily drag right up to the loop before, always the same. I am now building entire song structures in the EZ song maker in literally 20 minutes, fills, endings, everything. Also, you can drag a loop in to the search section of the song timeline and EZ will find DOZENS of loops you can use with that loop, endings, pre choruses, choruses, fills, verses, and a BUNCH of them.
Here's a hint to XLN, TIME TO ADD A TIMELINE SONG CREATOR IN the program itself, one as easy to use as EZ drummer's is. It is absolutely miserable trying to string a song together in Addictive. Creating a song in EZ is, oh, about a HUNDRED TIMES easier and more fluid. It keeps your creativity going when you can easily drag and drop and choose from dozens and dozens of loops right there at your call.
Haha - you accidently pushed the 'Caps Lock' key in that first sentence, didn't you? You couldn't even take the time to go back and fix the mess, could you? Lol
"No, I cOULDN'T EVEN TAKE THE TIMe to do that".. LMFAO..
What a pity velocity in transform section can't be automated.
I'm not sure if my ad 2 are different version. The output option that my vst had only
1.Master
2 Separate out
3. Separate out + master
Are you a reseller for Addictive Drums 2?... Do Tell :)
What's the name of the Reaper Theme you're using? Looks nice ;)
I asked myself the same question bruh,
Did you find out what it is?
Mozart'z Plays unfortunately no
I want that theme, I will be looking if there is one that is like that
I found it a Pro Tools theme haha, I don't know if that works for you
Makes sense ;D thanks mate, I also will be looking for downloads
I swear you sound like Greg Gumbel the SuperBowl guy 👀
where is the metronome? doesn't it have one?
3 full minutes in to this and he hasn't begun to get into the subject matter. Helpful hint: get directly in to the subject matter.
Jeff Pistana thank you for the warning
Seems more like a Radio Talk Show than a Tutorial. I can understand where you are coming from, but based on his podcast style your advice seems irrelevant to him.
Fuck... I bought the thing and came here, and you said you had a better price...
"The Show" are we on TV here!!! WTF is going on, I thought 'I was just watching some punter on U-tube lol Dick
XLN audio is owned by Max Martin. They discontinued support of the original Addictive Drums in 2014, forcing users who had already paid for it to upgrade to AD2 if they updated their OS past high Sierra. I just went through a battle with their marketing manager over this through email after updating to Mojave and losing 400$ in software / adpaks and them refusing to budge. That a man who has a net worth of 260 million dollars would allow his company to nickel and dime musicians over an update is outrageous. No integrity.
too bad the CPU SPIKES LIKE A MAD MAN
Try turning off all the effects for each kit piece and all the master effects, they are the usual culprits. You can then use the effects in your DAW for individual drums if you're using it as a plugin (Multi 4x Stereo, 10x Mono).

Why can´t he get to the point? I do not like the sound of his voice as much as he apparent ly does
Why can't you be even a little grateful that someone took the time to make a video to help others rather than being negative and calling him self absorbed. Of course, as usual the guy being the biggest critic is the guy who has ZERO contributions of his own.
We are lucky that people like this guy take the time to make videos to help us learn new skills, even if you have criticisms, why not try and make them productive rather that being just another twat who discourages people from making more content.
Here's a little example of how to say what you said without being a dick:
"Thanks for the video, maybe it could do with being a little shorter and more concise but good info"
Notice the difference?
Might I also point out that you clearly think quite highly of your opinion too since you took the time to share that completely useless comment with us.
@@bizarrefruit , he does this to make money from the ads that play. That's how UA-cam works. He isn't doing it as charity.
Jeff Pistana Believe it or not some people do it just to be helpful, I did many tutorials back in the day and never made a penny for it.
With 71k views this guy isn’t making a fortune, likely not even a living wage.
My comment still stands, there is no need to be a tool and I’ve watched the internet get increasingly toxic because of that kind of shitty attitude.
As an instructor I see how it affects the kids I teach now, if you want to defend it then fine, but it is a cancerous mentality that we should all speak against.
@@bizarrefruit That's great. here is constructive criticism for the instructor: Get directly to the subject matter, and don't waste 5 minutes rambling about basic generalities that enlighten no one.
@@bizarrefruit , p.s. he would have more views if his content was better.
Too much talking.. Oh boy
